I have fun when it's the right time to have fun, but when I lock in for practice and matches, I'm not worried about fun.

Quote by -Frances Tiafoe
I've played so many matches in my career so far where I played unbelievable, came up just short.
Quote by -Frances Tiafoe
My academy did a great job of getting my story out there for people to hear about me, get interested and wanted to fund me.

I try to treat everyone with love and respect. If you do that, you get the same back, if not more.
Quote by -Frances Tiafoe
I don't think our priority should be on immigrants. Obviously, they come to the States for a better life, so the last thing they want to do is rob a bank or do something bad.

Love the people that want to support you, love the people who are there for you, because you definitely earned that right.
Quote by -Frances Tiafoe
There was always a purpose in what I did on the court because at the end of the day, my parents, they sacrificed for me and my brother. I had to do it for them.

People in tennis, they've been in a certain bubble for so long they don't even know who they are, because obviously it's just been tennis, tennis, tennis. And let it be just tennis, tennis, tennis. Be locked into that. But when tennis is done, then what? It's kinda like: Let's enjoy being great at the sport.
Quote by -Frances Tiafoe
The thing is, everybody wants to be famous. Everybody wants to be successful. Everybody wants to be that dude, but not everybody wants to do the work for it. And I think that's probably one of the reasons why there's so many juniors and only a couple that make it. Because I really wanted it. I wanted it real bad.
Quote by -Frances Tiafoe
Serena's arguably the best athlete of all time, so getting to know her was surreal.
Quote by -Frances Tiafoe
I was born into a poor family but my family's good. I'm good and I'm going to do something great.
Quote by -Frances Tiafoe
When I told people that I wanted to grow up to be a tennis player, they laughed at me. My dad has always been supportive, but he was laughing, too.

While turning pro had a lot of upside, for me, it could also have turned out to be a disaster.
Quote by -Frances Tiafoe

Quote by -Frances Tiafoe
Some days, obviously, I am like 'Today is not the day,' but you got to push through, especially when my aspirations are to be pro, you can't have any bad days.
Quote by -Frances Tiafoe
All these pros are getting better every day. You just want to catch up to them.
Quote by -Frances Tiafoe
You start to take those opportunities when you do get a wildcard, but also you're allowed to say no - just because you get a wildcard doesn't mean you have to say yes. Some weeks I think its OK to take a wildcard, some weeks its not.
Quote by -Frances Tiafoe
I think my serve and trying to come forward a little more are what I need to work on.
Quote by -Frances Tiafoe
From the ground, I'm pretty solid from both sides. My form really helps me a lot and my backend complements it.
Quote by -Frances Tiafoe
Davis Cup helped me a lot. Being in that great atmosphere and having the chance to hit with top 50 guys everyday, being on the practice courts, that gave me a lot of confidence.
Quote by -Frances Tiafoe
It doesn't really matter who I turn pro with. What matters is where I take my tennis.
Quote by -Frances Tiafoe
I just wanted to play and play and play. When everyone left, I'd stay on the court and hit serves or play against the wall.
Quote by -Frances Tiafoe
Without my dad doing what he did, and without me putting in the hours, there wouldn't be any travelling the world or playing with the pros. He's a huge part of it.
